Description
The Radian A-DAC 15 is a fully ambidextrous AR-15 lower receiver designed for builders who want serious ergonomics without compromise. Machined from billet 7075-T6 aluminum with an integral trigger guard and flared magazine well, this lower gives you complete control regardless of which hand you favor.
What sets this lower apart is Radian's patented A-DAC (Ambidextrous Dual Action Catch) system. If you're right-handed, you can lock the bolt to the rear by simply pulling the charging handle back, pressing the right-side magazine release button, then releasing the charging handle. This means you never have to take your hand off the fire control area to perform this task. For ambidextrous operation, you get a left-side magazine release and right-side bolt release, plus the Talon ambidextrous safety selector that works from both sides.
Build Quality That Shows
The fit and finish are genuinely impressive. This isn't a lower that cuts corners on machining tolerances. The billet construction gives you dimensional stability that translates to a tight-fitting upper whenever you assemble your rifle. The Cerakote FDE finish provides real corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean tactical look. Inside, you'll find Radian's SART (Self-Adjusting Receiver Tensioner) spring-loaded plunger that minimizes upper-to-lower wobble.
What You Get
This lower ships with everything needed to get started on your build: the Talon 45/90 ambidextrous safety selector, enhanced takedown pin set, and all proprietary hardware including the extended bolt catch and release paddles. The flared magazine well speeds up reloads in training or competition. Multi-caliber marked, so it runs 5.56 NATO and .223 Rem interchangeably.
Made for Builders
Whether you're putting together a rifle for range time, training, or a specialized build, the A-DAC 15 gives you a rock-solid platform with controls that actually work the way you'd want them to if you could design them yourself. It's the kind of lower that makes you realize how much standard controls can limit your natural movement and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the A-DAC and how does it work?
The A-DAC (Ambidextrous Dual Action Catch) is Radian's patented system that lets you lock the bolt to the rear without moving your hand from the fire control area. Pull the charging handle back, press the right-side magazine release button, then release the charging handle. It's a game-changer for right-handed shooters who want faster, more intuitive operation.
Is this lower ambidextrous for both left and right-handed shooters?
Yes, completely. You get a left-side magazine release and right-side bolt release, plus the Talon safety selector that operates from both sides. Right-handed shooters also get the bonus of the A-DAC system on the right side. Lefties get full mirror controls for everything.
What finish does the FDE version have?
The Flat Dark Earth lower features Cerakote FDE finish, which provides genuine corrosion resistance and durability while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance. The finish is applied over hardcoat anodizing for added protection.
What comes with this lower receiver?
You get the lower receiver itself, Talon 45/90 ambidextrous safety selector, enhanced takedown pin set, and all proprietary Radian hardware including the extended bolt catch, release paddles, magazine release button, and hammer pin. You'll need an upper receiver, trigger group, and rear takedown pin to complete assembly.
Is this lower compatible with standard AR-15 parts?
Yes. The A-DAC 15 works with all standard MIL-SPEC AR-15 components including uppers, trigger groups, and accessories. The multi-caliber design runs both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington. Just verify any specialty parts are compatible before ordering.
Why is the fit and finish considered exceptional?
This is billet machined from one solid block of 7075-T6 aluminum, which offers superior tolerances compared to forged lowers. The machining is precise, controls operate smoothly, and everything fits together with minimal play. The included SART spring-loaded tensioner minimizes upper-to-lower wobble even further.
